Following up on a long promise we are now ready to present you the 2013 Virtual Snowbird Nationals. Probably you couldn’t make it to the real Snowbirds but this is your chance to race on the same track with racers from around the world.

Two brand new tracks are about to be released for this major r/c event of the year. Some 700 racers gather in the Snowbird Hot Rod hotel in Orlando - Florida for this annual happening, and this world renowned event will now have its virtual edition in VRC Pro.

Three events will be organized on the road course, another 3 events on the oval course, including for the first time an event for NASCAR trucks! The events for the spec chassis will be restricted to racer level 5 to keep the Pro’s (level 6) out…

Road course
- 1:10 ISTC modified
- 1:10 ISTC Spec
- 1:12 modified

Oval course
- 1:10 Spec NASCAR trucks
- 1:10 ISTC modified
- 1:12 Spec

The 2013 Virtual Snowbird Nationals will start on Wednesday Jan. 30th with the Mains starting on Friday and lasting till Sunday. The time schedule is tight, 2 rounds in 5 days, just like what’s happening in Orlando! By shifting the start and end times of each round we think we have been able to accommodate our Aussie and West coast racing friends.

Let’s see if we can beat the 700 number of the real Snowbirds…

The Snowbird tracks have been released Wednesday 30th. 13:00.

Tony W. Graphics designer	30.01.2013 [16:06] Posted by: Andre Östlund (SE) on 30.1.2013 15:15:42 (UTC) why not make the road course snowbirds track for free also this weekend?? Free would be nice for the duration of the real event.

David J. VRC World Champion	30.01.2013 [15:13] Just imagine, Snowbirds usually releases the layout before the event so for next year VRC could either coincide with the event or a few weeks prior for early testing like F1 and several other big race teams do!
Justin G	30.01.2013 [14:19] This is a really cool idea! Now that you have the surface on file I would think you could make the changes to the layout for next year a bit easier. I have always thought going to this race would be cool but haven't made it. This is the next best thing!
Chris S	30.01.2013 [12:30] Thanks Pieter, Its awesome track!!
Pieter B Founder	30.01.2013 [11:58] Tracks have just been published. Due to the late release of these 2 trackts the race schedule has been adjusted to just 2 rounds, Qualifying and Mains (ending Sunday eve.). Enjoy the ride!
